1996 Thomas Moillard Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves - 750ml

Wine By Bok: 9.25/10 stars

This 1996 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves is a firm and elegant Burgundy with wonderful character. It starts with notes of dried leaves and dark fruits, evolving after an hour of decanting into a more expressive bouquet as the initial sour plum tones fade. On the palate, it is structured, tannic, and full of promise, making it an excellent candidate for further aging or investment.

The Les Grèves vineyard sits on one of Beaune’s most prized mid-slopes, with gravelly limestone soils that give the wines their name (“Grèves” means small stones). This terroir produces wines of structure and finesse, and this bottling captures that essence beautifully. It is firm yet refined, showing both complexity and balance that will continue to develop over time.

A superb choice for collectors who appreciate wines with strength, character, and cellaring potential. Perfect For: Collectors, investors, and Burgundy enthusiasts seeking value and depth. (11/25)
